Hu JY, Huang WL, Gao Y, et al. - This study was undertaken to explore the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for assessing the histological spermatogenic function of azoospermic males. Researchers retrospectively included a total of 91 patients with azoospermia who had undergone standardized greyscale ultrasound and SWE examinations followed by testicular biopsy. They classified spermatogenic function by biopsy as normal testicular spermatogenesis (n = 61), hypospermatogenesis (n = 18), spermatogenesis arrest (n = 6) and Sertoli cell‐only syndrome (n = 6). The results of this study indicate that the mean SWE value and testicular volume efficiently discriminated patients with normal spermatogenesis and hypospermatogenesis from patients with Sertoli cell‐only syndrome and spermatogenesis arrest.
